tbd 900 E, Downey, ID 83234

Sitting High on Malad Summit, this ranch offers sweeping, 360-degree views of the Portneuf and Bannock mountain ranges. The land is a mix of cedar and pine pockets, sagebrush hills, and open pasture, giving it the feel of Southeast Idaho's rugged beauty. National Forest borders the west side, ensuring privacy and room to roam. Located in Idaho's Big Game Unit 73, the property has long been home to solid mule deer and elk populations, with the current owner harvesting some impressive bucks. There's also upland bird habitat here, and with enrollment in the Landowner Appreciation Program, you may have a shot at landowner tags through Idaho Fish and Game's lottery. A year-round creek runs through the property, providing vital water for wildlife and livestock. Fully fenced, it's currently under a seasonal grazing lease with excellent stewardship. Accessible year-round with county-maintained roads, it's just off I-15, 12 miles from Malad City, and only 25 miles north of the Utah border. Devil Creek Reservoir is just 4 miles away for fishing and paddle sports, and Salt Lake City is less than two hours away.
